The part of Dorothy Gale is an appealing role, on stage and in film. The beloved 1939 film and the stage versions are musicals. So the actress who plays Dorothy gets to be vocal, dramatic, comedic, and athletic. For example, there are timeless songs to sing, such as 'Somewhere over the Rainbow'. There are ranges of emotion: shock over the accidental death of the Wicked Witch of the East; fear over the imprisonment in the Yellow Castle of the Wicked Witch of the West; disappointment over the hot-air balloon escape of the Wizard; delight over the acquaintance with three fine friends; and anger over the mistreatment of her pet dog Toto and her three friends. There are moments of fun, such as the battle with the apple trees. And there are instances of athleticism, such as scurrying around for an escape route from the Witch; and dancing down the Yellow Brick Road.
